I'm wondering if a Mainz Gladius would be a good all 'round sword for killing home invaders or carrying as a shtf blade. Also were do I find the best value for a battle ready one?

>kill home invader with a sword
Yeah im pretty sure the DA would want to rake you over the coals for that, unless the invader already stabbed you or something.
>>35135012
>Not having Castle doctrine
You can kill anyone with anything. Especially a stranger. If you know the person they might argue that you invited them over and killed them.
Or like I said, you have a duty to retreat with no Castle Doctrine. In which case you're so cucked you have bigger problems.
>>35134997
Gladius is more or less the best melee weapon for home defense, depending on how much space you have. For SHTF outside I'd get something with more reach and hand protection.
Best value will be a cold steel gladius machete or a cobra steel kindjal.

Good luck finding ammunition for the StG 44.
Your best bet would be on something that fires either 7.62x39 or 7.62x51.
5.56 might be doable if you get on the good side of the CIA and have them overlook the age of your soldiers.

Yes, they're kinda eh. Ya know, somewhere between military advertising and Hollywood gun logic? Feels meh man.
Don't get me wrong, I would mind see a nice redhead with a pretty face and nice set of tits, hips, and ass, shooting away with nice ol' AR in dark red wood furniture, but crap like this doesn't catch my eye. Maybe just cause it's a bit boring or something.
>is body armor really important on a modern day battlefield?
The way I see it the only thing a grunt needs is a gun.
Dealing with dead and dying soldiers sucks from the military's perspective. This helps reduce that at a low cost.
>>35132152
>Is having soldiers important on a modern day battlefield
Cue Patton quote about dying.
>>35132152
Are you implying that grunts are expendable and cheap, or that body armor is useless and ineffective?
Either implication suggests you don't know very much about how the military or combat functions
Theoretically if NK nuked Tokyo, the USA WILL NOT respond with nuclear. If they nuked NK, then the NK could retaliate by nuking USA soil. Therefore, by not responding with nuclear, the USA sends a signal to the world that the defence of their allies is compromised as soon as it escalates into a existential threat to USA soul. NK really has USA by the balls.
>>35130016
Get a load of this retard, everyone
>>35130016
No, instead we'll make NK hurt the good ol' fashion way.
Saturation bombing and shit-ton of precision missiles.
Btw, if NK attacks anyone, China will not step in for their defense. They clearly stated that.

I never liked Rhodesia I always thought it was some shitty apartheid like state. So I was wondering why do you guys like it?
>>35129581
It had a respectable military that perfected anti-guerrilla and as large battle tactics.
It was one of the only successful African states, but that's because it was run by white people so of course it had to be destroyed.

Can someone explain to me how planes fly upside down?
It's what happens when you press the anti gravity button in the cock pit.
>>35129407
They take off, and then roll to one side until they're upside down
It only works for a limited time though, and there's a long cooldown period.

got a problem here with my AK74
it's a Bulgy kit build that I bought from a dude in PA, it's had this problem where shells get stuck in the chamber and are slightly exposed but in there tight.
The extractor seems to pull the shell out but not all the way. The way I clear this malfunction is let the bolt slam home and then rack it back fast and hard, unfortunately slamming the butt on the ground while forcing the bolt back (while it's holding onto the stuck shell) works best. The guy is apparently adept at making Aks, i know he runs a shop in PA. it's on a nodak spud and has a chromelined barrel. this is the only issue I have with it and I cannot figure it out.
it happens a varried amount, maybe once every 6p rounds to once every other round. it's frustrating as fuck any ideas? I sent it back to him for repairs once which he did for free, I just paid for shipping. he said everyone was fine he ran 3 mags through it no problem, just noticed "the handguars were super tight" which pushed the gas block away slightly or something similar, he fixed the issue and it worked pretty well for a min then it came back. what going on, are my handguards too tight and causing this? Any ideas?
>>35129133
Seems like an issue with the receiver, how much did you pay?
Did you try stuffing your dick into the action?
Head space issue. Good ole USA barrel I assume.

Only if the person who is getting killed wishes for it to happen or is unable to state so but a trained professional has concluded that it would be for the best.
Does this have the /k/ stamp of approval.
Only if you have a comprehensive knowledge of dozens of modern military vehicles, their capabilities and limitations, across many many countries.
>>35128815
So by /k/ standards, not at all
>>35128839
Basically to succeed you need lots of pre-existing knowledge, or be ready to encounter a steep learning curve.

Is there anything I should know?

Not really. Hopefully you didn't pay the 600 for it at a big box outdoor store. You will probably want to replace the hand gaurd just for rails. Very, very good basic rifle.
>>35128304
Not bad for a basic bitch AR. Prepare to have people shit all over your purchase, because /k/.
Why did you lie at meps? You know you could have gotten wavers right? Now your career choices are severely limited. Depression and medication arent a big deal and can be waved. Now? Say goodbye to that intelligence job. You'll never, ever get a job that requires secret or top secret clearance.

So is the US garrison in Worst Korea capable of holding back the Nork attack, or will they be beat back to Pusan like in 1950?
>>35126926
SK by itself will be able to hold back NK. US is there to make it easier

RoK Army and the US forces are just a speed bump. Something to soak artillery fire, return fire, and spread mines. So that the civilians can evacuate to the south and the US can get more forces to Korea for the counter assault into the North.
They might not have fuel, modern vehicles, guided munitions, etc. They do have a huge amount of artillery on the border and hundreds of thousands/millions of men with AKs. So any sort of assault by them would be initially devastating unless we were well prepared. Even then it would still be painful.
Though after that it would be a cake walk. As the North has spent it self and does not have the logistics to continue and sort of war.
Also remember that the US forces in Korea are not as large as they used to be before 9/11. They moved a lot of fighting power to the USA. The US bases in Korea now have dependents. where it used to be only service members and government workers. So we would also be tied up evacuating the women and children to Japan.
